New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman added another achievement to his lengthy resume on Saturday as he officially graduated from Kent State with the Class of 2019.
The football star began college in 2006, but left for the NFL when he was drafted by the Patriots in 2009.

Edelman said he was a little nervous, comparing the event to "pre-game butterflies."
He said it's important to finish what you started, going on to tell how he wanted to make his parents proud and be an example for his daughter.
